Re: I Can Do This 2017-05-12

The textiles Katherine specialises in are MesoAmerican, i think - flax, woool, etc, Well, she recognised those tunics as being of an Old Kingdom Egyptian pattern weave, so at the very least she has a good overview of other cultures. True - i forgot. But i bet she still doesn't know how to make silk...

Re: Getting Away 2017-05-11

If you mean 'ambivalent about spiders'.. 'ambivalent' means you do not care either way...

she is scared of spiders, so she exposes herself to remove the phobia.. I think digit is the 'hey, I chatted to a very nice spider today!' erm thing.. :D :D

Re: Better Things 2017-05-08

Well, that has certainly been the case in the past. The last time someone made a crater disappear mysteriously, it caused all sorts of ruckus, trials and tribulations. I'm not sure even MIB could have kept it quiet. It had all the elements of a mystery novel: dancing partners, a diamond, a journey ...

Re: Side track to the current arc

You gotta wonder, though. Since not all the paras we've seen in the comic actually match the old myths precisely (which didn't match themselves, to be honest), how would one be depicted in the comic? I imagine that the stories were really just exaggerated retellings of an incident in which the para...

Well, that disguise will work well, but only if Monica and Digit move to Kalifornia. I do think Cricket is maybe a bit too​ willing to use the "teach a cat to swim by throwing it into the water, so it has to learn quickly" approach. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/the-hang-of-all-this/ EDIT:...
